"No problem." They say seeing you off.

Returning home with another jump, Davy falls right onto the couch, tired for the most part.
"Honey! I'm home!" he announces out loud, voice muffled by a pillow as he had descended face-down.

"Hey hon... Rough day?" She asks.

"Yeah....Stopped one thief, got hospitalized by the next, led the weird bounty hunter into the Avengers Mansion...y'know, a typical Monday..." David mentioned to his wife with the corner of his mouth.
He then raised his head. "By the way...how'd you know about the bounty hunter? You seemed to get a hold of that tidbit kinda fast..."

(And here comes the point where I take this B off the f-ing rails.)
Your wife just smirks... and then shapeshifts into a Skrull pointing a laser pistol at you.

Awkwardly falling off the couch, David adopted a defensive position at the sight of the alien impersonator. His eyes darted about in confused anger.
"Who the hell are you?!" he shouted. "What have you done to my wife?!"

"Fool. Your wife never existed. There is only Skur-rell the Skrull!" He said firing a single shot you avoid at the last second by teleporting a few feet away.
(This is what happens when you play a character I know next to nothing about. Your wife gets retconned into a Skrull.)

OOC: Meh, I'll manage. I don't have enough of an attachment to the character or his series to object.
What I will ask is this, though...how did this Skrull infiltrator manage to emulate a Jumper's teleportation ability? Is he a mutant or mutate? Uses technology? Magic?
Millie, Davy's wife, was revealed at some point to have fledgling teleportation skills. She never developed them to a degree equaling his, however.
The Jumper's world was spinning at that moment. The woman that he fell in love with, spent tender moments with, and gave life and limb for...was an alien terrorist all along.
BEGIN FLASHBACK...
Davy and "Millie" were ready for their big day. The large church bells tolled, the wind was blowing rather softly, and the weather was perfect. Since their loved ones were dead or gone, complete strangers just happy to be there for the newlyweds had filled in the spaces that would have been empty...had it not been for the suggestion of the priest himself.
They had never looked so beautiful together. After they exchanged their vows, the kiss they exchanged was one telling of new beginnings. A life free of persecution, hatred, and loss...one where they would live out the rest of their days in peace and quiet.
It was too bad, really. Who'd have thought that it was all for naught?...
...END FLASHBACK
That was enough to drive him to the absolute edge! He bellowed out before going on the offensive!
================================= HEALTH: 2/2 ENERGY: 12/12* REGEN.: 4/4**
ACTION 1: I'll combine 2 stones of Teleportation with...
ACTION 2: 4 stones of Close Combat (Using “Jumps” in Combat, Fighting Teleporters, and Street Fighting specialties), along with 3 stones from its Agility bonus...along with whatever can be offered for that flashback sequence...to teleport-phase my arm through this Skrull bastard's heart.

You teleport your arm inside his body, and drop him dead.

Once he simmered down, Davy searched the corpse before him... Looking for anything of importance.
================================= HEALTH: 2/2 ENERGY: 7/12* REGEN.: 4/4**

You find nothing of note, but a strange card with some writing in an alien language, followed by some pills in a small container.

"Hmm..."
Rice couldn't ever hope to decipher what the card's writing stated in English, but it may-or-may-not have something to do with the pills he found...or the Jumper ability of the Skur-rell...or whatever purpose he had on Earth.
He immediately thought of the Avengers, again! They deal with crazy, extraordinary situations on a daily basis...so maybe they have information on what could a Skrull get out of posing as his wife for so long.
But was it right to run to them for help so soon? Would it be rude...or downright suspicious...to consult a second time after they had to risk life and limb for him?
His mind raced to see if there were any other individuals he could ask for help. If not, then he would have to warp to Avengers Mansion yet again.
================================= HEALTH: 2/2 ENERGY: 6/12* REGEN.: 4/4**
ACTION 1: I'll use 3 stones of General Knowledge, along with 1 stone from its intelligence bonus, to figure out if anyone other than the Avengers would be able to help me translate the note found on the Skrull corpse...or perhaps identify his real reason for infiltrating his life.
ACTION 2: None.

Well if it's the Skrulls… The Fantastic Four might be the best option.

"Off to the Baxter Building..."
With that decision made in clarity, Davy vanished out of his home and rematerialized in some discreet corner of the world-famous building's exterior. He then walked into the reception section, asking for an audience with the first family of heroics...if at all conventionally possible.
================================= HEALTH: 2/2 ENERGY: 6/12* REGEN.: 4/4**
ACTION 1: I'll use 3 efficient stones of "Jump" to warp clandestinely to the outside of the Baxter Building.
ACTION 2: None.

"Please state the nature of your visit." The receptionist asks.
